Have to agree. Many don't understand where she is coming from. Very elite Ivy driven HS. It does matter where you go to college when considering Med, Law and MBA programs. Go look at the freshman medical class at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, UPenn. You won't see too many University of Oregon undergrads attending. This doesn't mean they are getting a "better" degree but don't be fooled by thinking you get a 4.0 and score high on the MCAT and the doors of Harvard swing open. I'm sure someone will get on here and say they did it but why take the chance? Especially since she has someone on the east coast who can watch her workouts and report to Al Sal.
I too would be stunned if she went to oregon, for exactly these reasons. People have no idea how important college choice is to wealthy hyper educated northeasterners.
That said, unless Nike pays, I think she will go to Stanford - Ivies can't give her an athletic scholarship -$250,000 is a lot of money to a family with 3 kids going to college. But if Nike pays, sure, Ivy.
